also a random comment about variance :
today my closest poker friend - a 5 ptbb winner at 2-5 and 5-10 over his past 170k hands - dropped 12k at 2-5 and lower. The ev graph was pretty much a straight line towards break-evenville.
seriously.

Flop I c/r this hand fairly often, or lead out. As played, turn I call given the odds he's giving. River - he's not betting into two ppl here with worse than A high, so despite the odds we're getting, I fold here. If this was HU, I might call. | |

PFR acts before me on all streets. Its funny, if he bets say $5 on flop I probably raise him, but for only $3 into an $11 pot the odds just win me over. Do you think his range is weak enough and contains enough stuff that beats me but would fold to a river shove? | |

Yeah, this thought occurred to me too. If I read that small bet as weakness, then I add a lot of fold equity to my pot equity, meaning I should really be more likely to semi-bluff here than v's a std c-bet. | |

Ok, I thought this was an interesting spot. Looks standard at first, but I think maybe stack sizes change things a bit. | |

bj - If villain c/r you here was a full stack, I might even say flat his c/r. I don't think the 8 is a clean out all that often, and I don't think we have that much fold equity on this type of board. But given his stack, shovey shovey. | |

an interesting question is whether or not there s a point where playing the flop vs a short and vs a deep stacked opponent become similar facing the flop CR. | |

k i m pretty baked and exhausted right now after throwing a party but my first reaction is that preflop is o.k. to good, flop is meh to o.k. and turn is bad to meh. i ll try and spit something coherant out after I wake up. | |

Spoke to Griffey about it. I think I like his line of calling flop and betting if checked to on turn, raising if he bets turn and a spade comes in, or just folding turn if it doesnt and he bets. Turn I have to call $15 into $90 after I bet, so I've got odds, unless of course he's either already hit or has a better FD (A or K). Is that what makes the call bad? | |
| |
02-08-2009 06:18 PM
#395
| |
I prefer floating the flop to raising because we're repping sets and AA-KK as well as FD's and bluffs when we raise | |

hehe thx guys. words can t describe how tilted I was last night. I owned hard in my first 2 sessions back then lost it all and then some in a single session... almost all to Geo (u know how that feels obv) and some guy who kept calling oop and check-shoving any pair, gutter etc vs my overpairs. | |

If 55 hadn't lost to K7hh on 529hh for a 2.7k pot, I'd have had an awesome comeback session tonight. I was down a tonne at one point but for whatever reason didn't feel too stressed about it. Maybe the massive swing I had this week helped to be a bit equanimous in the face of more and more variance. | |

Just tried out the new Inter software and I dropped seriously like 6k euros in the first 2 hours on the site. I was seriously wondering if it was rigged until I made most of it back in the next 4 hours. It has so many bad things about it I can't name them, but the games are good for sure. If they can change a few basic things like how fucking fast it is (8 tabling is nigh impossible and even 6 tabling is a recipe for a timeout every fucking orbit) then maybe it will be bearable. | |

haha i was at some GOLDEN late-night tables and was sitting with 3.9k euros at a 2-4 table and 400bb + stacks at 3 separate 1-2 tables (so actually maybe i was up way more than 6k??? fk me) then lightning struck and i lost 3 consecutive 300bb pots at the 2-4 table with the nuts all in pre or on the flop (the worst was losing JJxx to KK xx ai on J26r for 2.2k euro pot) and suddenly BAM it s all gone on the 2-4 table. | |

just reviewed that session mentally from last night and realized that I was up 7k euros at my high point, which makes it even sicker to think that I ended up down 5k euros, all at 1-2 and 2-4!!! | |
